USURPER? How the Head of the High Council of Justice Is Trying to 'Overstay' in a Cozy Seat 🛑
‼️Colleagues uncovered a scheme of power usurpation in the High Council of Justice. 👉 https://t.me/PodMantiyey/7477
🤓We checked this information and from our own sources confirm: Hryhoriy Usyk, it seems, has no intention of leaving his office when his term expires.
What is this opportunist planning? A) To derail the judges’ congress so it can’t elect his replacement before 11 January 2027. B) To manipulate the provision on extension of powers (part 3 of art. 5 of the Law “On the High Council of Justice”), which applies only when the body loses quorum.
What’s the catch and why is the plan doomed? Reminder: currently there are 17 members working in the HCJ (15 are enough for it to be competent). On 11 January 2027 the terms of five members expire at once: Alla Kotelevets, Hryhoriy Usyk, Oleksandr Sasevych, Yulia Bokova, and Olha Popikova.
But in 2023 they took the oath not simultaneously but in sequence. See the video evidence (timestamp 5:14:00): 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWt6ABkQeTU
☝️The order was as follows: Kotelevets, Usyk, Sasevych, Bokova, and Popikova. Their terms also end in that same chronological order.
What does this mean legally?
The first two — Kotelevets and Usyk — go first. Without them the HCJ retains a competent composition (exactly 15 members remain!). Therefore, the provision on 90 days’ extension of powers does not apply to them at all. Mr. Usyk has no lawful grounds to cling to the chair. 🥂🍾They pack their things and, by tradition, celebrate at an upscale restaurant.
The termination of Sasevych’s term and those of the subsequent members will lead to loss of quorum, so they will indeed be able to use the right to a 90-day transition period.
📌 Therefore, to the odious Mr. Usyk, who has lettered dice with the letters “ZH”, “O”, “P”, and “A”, we advise not to sabotage the judges’ congress. He won’t be able to usurp power after 11.01.2027.
💸Better to already reserve a table now at a good restaurant to celebrate the end of the term and to receive a solid severance — during the height of the New Year holidays seating may be tight. 🥂
